I won't accept this Beautiful Ghosts slander, the film might be dreadful but this song is great.

ClevelandRox you had been worried about if your #1 would finish poorly... the journey of your #1 ends here, still a top half finish for this song though! This song has a special place in my heart since this song paved the way for my Taylor Swift love; interestingly enough I've actually never seen the movie. Taylor wrote another song on the soundtrack called "You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home". #8: "Crazier" Points: 255 (3 points ahead of "Sweeter Than Fiction", 13 points below #7) Average Rank: 9.375 Standard Deviation: 5.323 (4th highest) From: Hannah Montana: The Movie

And that's a wrap for this afternoon's reveals! Two Hunger Games tracks, "Ronan", and two country collaborations are the songs that remain.
The top 5: Safe & Sound (feat. The Civil Wars) Eyes Open Ronan Highway Don't Care [Tim McGraw with Taylor Swift feat. Keith Urban] Babe [Sugarland feat. Taylor Swift]

I had all but forgotten about “Both of Us” so it was fun getting to revisit that one again. I’m not surprised, though, to see it as the most polarizing song as I almost went with this one in the predictions.
Given the competition I didn’t expect “Only the Young” to make the top 5, but I’m glad to see it at least make it a couple spots shy of that. I had watched the Miss Americana documentary a while back and really enjoyed it. I think the most memorable scene was when Taylor was on the couch sitting alone and gets a phone call letting her know that she wasn’t nominated in any of the top categories for the Grammy Awards, to which she replies “I just need to make a better record.” Anyways, this is a great song so I’m a bit perplexed by some of the lower rankings for it.
Speaking of the top 5...this is STACKED! I really don’t know what to expect and honestly I’d be happy with any one of the songs winning. I’ll try my best taking a guess at how it’ll play it:
5. Babe 4. Ronan 3. Eyes Open 2. Highway Don’t Care 1. Safe & Sound

Both Of Us has a great chorus but B.O.B. dragged that song down so much lol.
Sweeter Than Fiction & Crazier were both good discoveries! Taylor is such a great artist haha, it's like everything I hear from her manages to surprise me in some way.
Only The Young is a cool sound, but I do think it's a bit grating at points. The chorus could use some work haha.
But then we get to Today Was A Fairytale, a song I only listened to a few months ago but have thoroughly enjoyed since discovery! It's such a warm, sweet tune. Happy it made it up near the top of the list!
Rooting for Safe & Sound, Highway Don't Care & Babe. Eyes Open is cool enough but not worthy of winning, and Ronan grew on me since ranking but still isn't one of my favourites.

I'm happy Crazier made it that far! It's in my top ten Taylor songs on last.fm I used to hate that it was from the Hannah Montana movie soundtrack/I actually had to buy that for a Taylor song, but have to come to accept it. 😂 I second rooting for the ones Mylo mentioned! I'd love a Babe win. :)

"Eyes Open" is amazing. I didn't do this but I hope "Safe & Sound" wins.

Before we head into the top 4, below is the point total for the top 4 songs - as you can see, the #1 and #2 as well as #3 and #4 were close in points. The song at #4 initially was holding onto the #1 for the first half of the submission process but slowed down in the second half. After that, the song that finished at #2 held onto the #1 before the actual #1 sniped it towards the end.
#1: 368 #2: 363 #3: 348 #4: 340 #5 - "Eyes Open": 308

This song has finished at #1 in the Two Lanes of Freedom rankdown, as well as top 10 in the Tim McGraw singles RD and the 2013 Country RD! I suppose it's giving other songs its time to shine here! #4: "Highway Don't Care" Points: 340 (38 points above "Eyes Open", 8 points below #3) Average Rank: 5.833 Standard Deviation: 4.061 From: Two Lanes of Freedom (Tim McGraw album)

This song is great! It was awesome to see Tim McGraw and Taylor on the same song, they really shined next to each other here.

Wow I was not expecting to see "Babe" make it into the final two. Don't get me wrong it's a boppin' catchy tune, I just think "Ronan" and "Highway Don't Care" are much better songs as far as quality is concerned.
"Safe & Sound" FTW!
